Chapter 1044

Corinne raised her eyebrow calmly when she saw Aaron walking in. ‘What’s he doing here?’

Even though Francine was stunned by Aaron’s good looks, she did fall head over heels for him as her

heart already belonged to Chester, even if it was one-sided love at the moment.

Glaring at him, she asked rudely, “And just who are you? Didn’t anyone teach you to knock before

coming in? Seriously, the nerve of you.”

Aaron smiled at Francine before turning to Corinne, saying coyly, “Well, I never had to knock before

going into her bedroom, so why do I need to start now?”

Hearing this, Francine grew alert. She looked at Aaron from head to toe before looking probingly at

Corinne. “What?! Are you her ex-boyfriend?”

Aaron said nothing. He simply smiled ambiguously instead.

Francine assumed she had guessed right. She put her hands on her hips. “I can’t believe you, Corinne!

How can you take the opportunity to meet with your old flame while Jeremy is on his business trip? Do

you not love him anymore?”

Corinne gave Francine a side-eye before continuing to massage her temples tiredly. “Ignore him. I don’t

have an ex-boyfriend. Even if I have, he certainly won’t be one.”

Francine was a little taken aback by Corinne’s response, but she was not all that convinced.

Aaron frowned unhappily. “Boss, do you have to put me down like that in front of others? Am I not

pretty enough for you?”

Corinne was used to Aaron’s vainness and silliness, so she did not think too much of it. Changing the

topic, she asked, “What are you doing here? You should be working at this hour.”

Aaron shrugged. He walked over and looked at the injury on her head with concern. “I couldn’t focus on

work after I heard you got hurt, so I came to make sure you’re okay.”Books Chapters Are Daily

“I’m fine, so you can go back to work now. You need to work on your work ethic, you know that?”

Corinne secretly glanced at Annie to observe her reaction while she was talking.

From the moment Aaron came in, Annie’s lovestruck eyes never left him. She quickly put away her

previous shrewish behavior and said demurely, “How nice of you to visit Corinne, Mister Aaron. She’s

about to have her breakfast, so why don’t you join her? You’re about to be in for a real treat ’cause

these are all my mom’s signature dishes.”

Francine found it weird that Annie would suddenly speak so gently, so she quietly observed Annie’s

expression. She could instantly tell Annie had a major crush on Aaron.

‘Ah, so this is the type of guy she likes. Hehe! My Chester is so much better looking than him, though.’

Aaron smiled at Annie. “That’s okay. I already ate with friends before I came.”

“Oh… Alright, then,” said Annie disappointedly. “If that’s the case, why don’t you stay for a bit to have a

chat?”

After saying that, Annie brought over a chair for Aaron to sit on.

“Thank you,” said Aaron after sitting down unceremoniously before turning his attention back to

Corinne. “Boss, how are you feeling? Does your head hurt?” he asked worriedly.

In contrast to his attitude toward Corinne, it was obvious Aaron only treated Annie with the bare

minimum of politeness.

Corinne shook her head. “No, it doesn’t.”

“Did you get hurt anywhere else? Don’t hide anything from me, okay?”
